  1. Once again, thanks all for the suggestions.  I am glad others have found the thread interesting. I think we may have difficulty fitting a VMC due to the position of the shower room in the house.  I think our first choice at the moment will be to leave our windows slightly open inside the folding shutters.  If this does not work then we will probably try the VMC route.  I hope they come with good instructions ! We will probably have a look next week to see the possibilities. Thanks again all.
  2. I have been trying to work it out, but failed - what is a VMC, please ? !!
  3. Many thanks everyone for your thoughts on our problem.  I agree that maybe better ventilation would help. I think part of the problem is a shower room without any windows.  We fitted an extractor fan last autumn, but I don't think it is helping much, as we turn off the power when we are not there. The extractor on ebay looked interesting, we could install it in a hall way which connects to the shower room - I wonder how big an area it would effect? Will have a think about this and see what OH says. andiane  
  4. Hello, list Although I have been reading this forum for a couple of years, this is the first time I have posted, so I hope I am doing it right ! We have a holiday home in 17, and are able to get over 4 or 5 times a year. Our problem is that even using those big tablets in baskets we still have quite a damp atmosphere when we open up the house. This manifests as mould on the bedframe and on things like the breadboard. I am sure that it should be possible to buy something that uses solar power to 'air' the house, or even run a low power heater to help solve this problem? Does anyone know of such a device? I am hoping that someone can make a suggestion as in spite of quite a lot of research on the internet I have been unable to find anything. I suspect that in France there are likely to be more solar things available for obvious reasons. Hopeful, andiane
